I like Cinema 4D. I think it is a little easier to get to grips with than Maya or Lightwave. Definitely go for the demos though. [Edit; I think Lightwave's renderer is supposed to be the best, whereas Maya's modelling is tremendously powerful…

Office generally, and especially Excel, crashes all the time under Jaguar (10.2.1). I don't know what the problem is, and IE is worse. It used to be that I would get kernel panics, but now just 'the app x has unexpectedly quit'. I don't use it to…

Leonis Do you use 3rd party models or textures (such as Dosch Design stuff)? Are they worth the (comaratively little) money? What would you recommend?

[quote]There's so many free demos of Vue, True, LW, Maya, Cinema etc...what's stopping you from trying before you buy? Hehe, maybe the 150MB or so that each of them are? It took ages to download Maya PLE, even on broadband. But you're righ…

I spoke to Maxon directly. They say that there are no details regarding the student offer yet, but they say there is no reason to believe that the student version will not be based on XL as previous versions.

Yes. But it always feels good to get a bargain! (And you are right - it is still a good deal if you don't need the extras, although I think that caustics should have been included.) [Where did you get the information about what is and isn't…

Pyrocluster would have been nice. But yeah, Leonis you are correct in that the new version of r8 seems to include everything that the current XL 7 does. The bundle would have been good though.

Maxon has an AWESOME educational purchasing plan. This has me fired up. Just waiting to see what it will be like in the autumn.

I hope this speeds it up:

I downloaded these for my 1240U, but I still can't get Photoshop 7 to see the scanner through TWAIN even though it has been installed in the PlugIn folder, anyone got any ideas? (PS7, Canon 1240U, OS 10.1.5)

[quote]Originally posted by Spiffster: hmmmm, I don't know what to make of the low end single 1 gHz It is weird. I think maybe it is because the dual 867s sold really well (in comparison with the traditional bottom of the range PowerMac) that …

I am very happy with my 867 DP. The volume is a bit of an issue (I got a bit envious when my flatmate received his Dell, and was able to sleep with it switched on), but otherwise everything is good. The speed is not really an issue, I genuinely w…

Go to xlr8yourmac.com and have a look at the drive compatability database, it is very easy to use and will tell you which is the best option. The Pioneer 103/104/105 are identical to the superdrives used in the macs. [However, keep your eye on…

I would be more inclined to believe the threads on Apple's discussion boards that any remedy would be an upgrade to the firmware. I sincerely doubt that Apple would offer a complete motherboard replacement without some form of warranty problem.

Yep jewellers screwdrivers (get a good quality set - those buggers are in tight - may damage a lesser set). AND DON'T DROP THE SCREWS INTO THE CASE!!!! That is a whole world of pain...

The Sony DRU500A. It is listed on some websites already, however the stock is listed as unavailable. Is it the beginning of November it is supposed to be launched? There is also a drive report on xlr8yourmac already for compatability issues (n…

They're not on the UK store. But you guys can keep em'. Dual 1GHz for $2500 And they are as ugly as those leaks made out.

I just ordered the dual 867. Like Lemon Bon Bon I was hoping for a better update than this. However I cannot afford to wait any longer, even though I am disappointed. I think that for the first time ever, the entry level PM is probably the best d…
